devtool clones the wrong repository for recipe development - embedded-linux

Question

I am using krogoth and recently I have been observing that everytime I do the following:
Add a recipe
devtool add buttonflux https://github.com/shantanoo-desai/buttonflux/archive/v1.0.tar.gz
I get the a previous recipe which I worked up.
here is the recipe-tool generated recipe of the above repository:
# Recipe created by recipetool
# This is the basis of a recipe and may need further editing in order to be fully functional.
# (Feel free to remove these comments when editing.)
#

LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://LICENSE;md5=7e8b8d2e60aca564edd8578b5f1f4951"
HOMEPAGE = "https://github.com/shantanoo-desai/bnoflux"

S = "${WORKDIR}/bnoflux-${PV}"
inherit setuptools

It is worth noting the the HOMEPAGE is false and so are the SRC_URI hashes. (I want to use buttonflux and not bnoflux which was my previously worked upon recipe)
I tried reseting the recipes but this problem is still persistent.
my workspace clones also the wrong repository:

even though the source is called buttonflux the code within it belongs to bnoflux repository.
I do not understand why this is happening.
